Jul 31, 2015Living Legend is a non-stop gangsta party connected to the street, offering a more approachable alternative to Ross' grandiose LPs.

Aug 6, 2015The only real problem with Living Legend is that he's clearly holding back some of his formidable lyrical skills to be competition for the Fetty Waps, Chief Keefs and Vine-traded hook-rappers of the world.... But when he lets his hard-rocking rhymes run amok, Gunplay is a breath of fresh Swisher smoke and spittle-flecked air.

Jul 31, 2015Living Legend isn't bad, exactly. It's a consistent release with no substantial misfires, full of densely packed verbiage and grand gestures, reminiscent of a time when technique, style, and personality seemed inseparable, interrelated qualities in a rapper's arsenal.
